A GUIDE TO THE USA CONSTITUTION

Pledging Allegiance

NOTE: In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words “under God,” creating the 31-word pledge we say today. Bellamy’s daughter objected to this alteration.

Today it reads:

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Tax-Free Drugs? Why do you allow it?

Send an estimated tax bill to Mexico based on the estimated amount of illegal drugs pumped into the United States for commercial purposes. Make it retroactive.

All politicians in Mexico benefit from the illegal dumping of drugs into the United States. They created the need for a wall, since crime hitches a ride wherever drugs are sent.

Then tax every Central and South American country commensurate with their involvement in the illegal drug trade.

Do it and do it now. Matters are getting worse not better. No action shows weakness.

Leave the American Indian lands alone. That’ll be the only illegal entry door, unless they set up check points. If they don’t want the wall, then let them deal with the drugs and the crime that comes with it. It’s their land.

Turn tobacco fields into marijuana fields. No monopolies or big tobacco squeezing out the Mom and Pop operations.

Politicians need to get out-of-the-way of progress. Marijuana is not a gateway drug. Coffee is. Over the counter pain medications are. Stop the insanity. Focus on hard drugs not soft ones. How many OTC pain meds are sold each year? It appears America is already addicted to OTC drugs. Make them illegal and see what happens. Put your thinking caps on – if you still have one.

Stop letting other countries force us into buying their products via threats of violence. If they want us to buy, then they meet our standards for safety, not theirs.

Politicians are lazy. The only talent they exhibit is their ability to delay till the next election cycle, then it starts all over again – empty promises.

Let’s see how fast you can work. You’re always demanding it of everybody else. Now you’re up. Speedy Gonzalez. Who is that anyway? Ándale! Ándale!
